The government of Abia State has refuted claims of apprehending youths and elders summoned for a peace dialogue.
Alex Otti, the Abia governor, reportedly detained several youths and elders who were invited for peace talks regarding the construction of the Port Harcourt-Aba Road.
The social media reports highlighted the actions of the youth and elders from a particular clan in the state, who barricaded a construction site in pursuit of a settlement.
